As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Zheng Li continued: "What do you think of the previous media publicity?"

"Does that mean becoming the general manager of Kechuang Biotechnology?"

"If you want, I can fire Cheng Gang, but there may be some turmoil in the management. So if you want, you can talk to Cheng Gang after the brain-computer connection VR is released and give him a chance to leave with dignity."

Li Miaomiao's face suddenly heated up and turned red, with the hairs on her face clearly visible:

"That's just media propaganda, I didn't actually mean that."

"If I were to take the position of general manager, the people below me might not be convinced."

"I'm still far from that. No, no, Cheng Gang is doing very well. There's no need to do this."

"With my qualifications, if it weren't for you, I could only be a team leader at a company of Kechuang Biotechnology's size at best."

Li Miaomiao is very self-aware and knows that it is harder for her to have such a resume than to win the lottery. If she relies solely on her family and her own efforts, it would be good enough for her to be able to work at a securities company or investment bank headquarters.

You should know that after filling out her college entrance examination application form, her goal after her student career was to work in a first-tier investment bank.

She never thought of going into business.

Compared with finance, industry makes money too slowly, and finance is a rentier industry.

Among the top 2020 listed companies in China by profits in 9, the top ten are all financial companies, banks, and one comprehensive financial services provider.

Moutai, which ranks highest in the physical industry, is only twelfth.

Zheng Li explained: "Compared with Cheng Gang, you also have your advantages. Cheng Gang does have more experience and is better at handling things."

"Both my personal connections and official channels are wider than yours."

Zheng Li said it very bluntly. Li Miaomiao knew it was the fact but still felt a little unhappy inside.

It always reminded her of her mother whispering in her ear that her colleague's daughter had gotten the first place in her grade and never played games. That was the fact, but she still felt unhappy inside.

But she nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.

Zheng Li continued, "But you have your advantage, that is, you don't have any thoughts of your own, unlike Cheng Gang who has too many desires and always wants to rely on the platform of Kechuang Biotechnology to make profits for himself."

Li Miaomiao originally thought that Zheng Li was going to say that her advantage was that she had Zheng Li's trust, but the result was completely different.

Li Miaomiao, whom Zheng Li mentioned, had not noticed anything before. She was surprised and asked, "Really?"

Zheng Li said: "Whether it is setting up his own investment company, his investment company has invested in two companies specializing in mRNA vaccines."

"IDG helped him find this opportunity. As for what he paid, I only know that when we were going to acquire SecondMind, the shareholders behind SecondMind sold their shares to IDG and Goldman Sachs in advance."

"But due to the special medicines from American, it is difficult for those two mRNA companies to go public."

"After his investment failed, he would definitely try to make up for it in some way."

"The super battery technology announced by the board of directors yesterday, Cheng Gang is likely to use this news to find hot money or institutions to trade stocks in the lithium battery-related industry chain."

"His actions were neither illegal nor illegal. It may not have been his intention to leak the company's acquisition of SecondMind, but Cheng Gang is too selfish. He will definitely be replaced in the future. Are you ready?"

"These things are only for you and me to know."

Li Miaomiao was shocked after hearing this, and she also began to doubt Zheng Li. She asked this question directly: "How do you know? You are in Lion City, and the news is more sensitive than me in Gusu?" Zheng Li was helpless: "Your focus should not be, how long do you need to prepare? When do you plan to take over Cheng Gang's position and responsibilities?"

Li Miaomiao said stubbornly: "These are not important. When I am ready, I will tell you naturally."

"But I'm curious about how you knew that. Please forgive me, every woman has a gossipy heart." Li Miaomiao even spoke in a coquettish tone at the end.

Zheng Li said: "There must be someone in the company who knows me, and they will tell me this."

"As for who it is, I'm not in a position to tell you."

As the actual controller of a company, there will inevitably be employees at different levels who want to get close to you, including but not limited to informing, giving gifts, flattery and other methods.

Not only the actual controller, but also the senior executives will have subordinates who want to get close to you. It is impossible to have no factions.

As a company grows, different factions will naturally form.

A very simple example is that some people joined the company in the same year and received new employee training at the same time. Later, as the company grew, some of them became senior executives, some were middle-level managers, and some were ordinary employees. It is easy for them to form a group.

There are a lot of factions in Kechuang Bio, such as the old employee faction, the new employee faction, the Jiangcheng University faction, the rice faction, the doctoral faction, etc., and this is when the company only has 5,000 people.

Therefore, you cannot avoid the factional culture that prevails in companies like Tencent and Ali. Rule by man cannot avoid factionalism.

Zheng Li holds more than 60% of the shares and is the undisputed controller of Kechuang Bio.

Even though he was in Singapore, Zheng Li had been in Suzhou from the very beginning, from the establishment to the launch of Endorphin, and he had to personally interview every senior executive before they joined the company.

Therefore, Li Miaomiao had no doubts about Zheng Li's explanation, but she was secretly wondering who was more sensitive to the news than her.

Li Miaomiao nodded and said, "I will seriously consider it."

"Do you need to have a good talk with Cheng Gang? Ask him to be more restrained?"

"After all, Cheng Gang has been with Kechuang Bio since the company was founded, so we still have to take his contributions into consideration."

"He personally set up the entire enterprise's start-up system, structure, staff recruitment, patent registration, etc."

"If you can give him a chance, you should give him one. He's over 50, so he can work for a few more years at most. It won't be too late for me to take over when he reaches retirement age."

"And considering that the Rice Faction and the Jiangcheng University Faction within the company have always been in a state of contention but not fighting, this balance is bound to be broken if Cheng Gang leaves."

The Jiangcheng University faction could have easily suppressed the Rice faction, but since Zheng Li was in Lion City, Li Miaomiao did not get involved in such matters.

Only a senior executive of Kechuang Biotechnology who graduated from Jiangcheng University was enthusiastic about this. Cheng Gang also did not participate in person, but his former subordinates at Shunwei Capital participated, and the two sides maintained a tacit understanding of competition.

Zheng Li replied: "This is something you need to consider and balance. You will have to deal with it in the future. You are the specific person in charge."

"These personnel arrangements and internal company management are much more troublesome than scientific research, so I'll leave them all to you!"

"It is precisely because of Cheng Gang's hard work that I have tolerated him until today. If he had not been there since the establishment of Kechuang Biotechnology, I would have let him go long ago."

"But the older people get, the more insecure and greedy they become, so if he crosses the line, I will definitely let him go. You need to be prepared in advance."
